Using Blonde Maria To Bash The Gypsies And Feed Off Madeleine McCann

WHEN the tabloids looked at the blond child found in the Greek gypsy camp they thought of Madeleine McCann. The Daily Star went as far as declaring “Maddie Found In Greece“:

But it wasn’t her. And today the Sunday Times leads with news that it could be any number of children:

We don’t know how the child came to be living in the camp with adults not blood related to her.

Known only as Maria, she is in the care of the charity Smile of the Child, which says it has been flooded by calls from anguished parents searching for their lost children.

A photograph of the girl, who is believed to be about four years old, has been released to help find her real parents.

Police suspect that she may have been abducted or sold as a baby: DNA tests confirmed that the Roma couple she was found with were not her biological parents.

“We’ve had thousands of phone calls from all over the world,” said the charity in Athens. “Most are parents who have lost a child or been the victims of abduction. Some were told their baby had died at birth but did not believe it.”

We don’t know much at all. Here’s the Daily Mail:

Revealed: The rundown home where the four-year-old ‘Greek Maddie’ lived with her gypsy ‘abductors’

No judge. No jury. The man and woman are kidnappers. The 39-year-old man and a woman, 40, have been charged with abducting a minor.

And the child whose identity we do not know is dubbed “Greek Maddie”.

Unidentified girl can only speak obscure Roma language

So. She might be Roma.

Much more interesting than that is the Mirror’s news:

Ben Needham: Claims missing boy is in SAME gipsy camp where stolen girl Maria was found

His mother Kerry Needham, 41, said: “The authorities in Greece always told us, ‘Gipsies don’t steal babies’. Now we know they do. We are very optimistic this new information may help us find Ben.”

We don’t know that they do.

The astonishing claims come from Andonis Bedzios who had gone to the remote camp in Larissa, central Greece, to search for his own son when he saw a child matching Ben’s description.

He gave a statement to cops – but Ben’s family say it was never properly followed up by officers. The account is one of a string of links between the Greek travelling community and the disappearance of the 21-month-old toddler from Greek island Kos in 1991.

But the 1996 sighting of a blond boy in the Saloniki camp, NOT this camp, WAS followed up. And he was a Roma boy with a nonroma German mother, named Stefano, born there. He was older then Ben and he did have dark eyes and looked nothing like him. The Needham family, whove been blaming gypsies forever, know this full well. And the -now man-himself is now a musician that has Told lots of people since Then how the police almost removed him from his grandmother’s house under the suspicion of bring a missing britis child…. Btw there are infinite examples of gypsy children bring stolen, abducted taken seized by nongypsies from gypsies, such as in the Swiss Pro Juventute case. There is NO, I gepest not one shred of evidence that one gypsy has EVER abducted a gadjo child, despite all this kind of blaming and scapegoating.

Co-incidentally someone was telling me only last week how Gypsies on a Greek island tried to steal his young daughter several years ago.

One came to the front door of his house and distracted his wife as another went around the back and led her away. It was only the dog alerting them that made them aware and give chase.

He was a US army officer stationed in Greece at the time.

They were so thankful to the dog that they brought it back to the US.

I’ve heard stories of Gypsies stealing babies and small children before. I can believe this has happened in these instances.

I wouldn’t mind betting that’s EXACTLY what happened with Madeleine McCann. I reckon she’ll turn up one day at a Gypsy camp – if that’s not her in Dublin.
